One of the most anticipated books of the year, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner, a glimmering novel set in the world of pop music about sisters, motherhood, young love, and the dreams we chase.
Sisters Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were born just a year apart but could not have been more different. Zoe, blessed with charm and beauty, yearned for fame from the moment she could sing into a hairbrush. Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin and preferred the safety of the shadows.
On the brink of adulthood in the early 2000s, destiny intervened, and the sisters were catapulted into the spotlight as the pop supergroup The Griffin Sisters. With Cassie’s talent and Zoe’s ambition, the band soared to the top of the charts, hitting all the touchstones of early aught fame—SNL, TRL, VH1—along the way. Cassie learned to tolerate the limelight, even as label executives were desperate to hide her plus size figure. And Zoe got everything she thought she ever wanted: fame, money, fans, and the man of her dreams.
After a year in the public eye, tragedy broke up the band.
Two decades later, Zoe’s a housewife, Cassie’s off the grid. The sisters aren’t speaking, and The Griffin Sisters are a “where are they now?” footnote in music history, with the story of their breakup still unknown. And Zoe’s teenage daughter Cherry, who’s determined to be a star in spite of Zoe’s warnings, is on a quest to find Cassie and learn the truth about what happened to The Griffin Sisters all those years ago.
As secrets emerge, all three women must face the consequences of their choices: the ones they made and the ones the music industry made for them. Can they forgive each other—and themselves? Can the broken bonds of their family ever be repaired? Will The Griffin Sisters ever make music again?
